I've seen similar sentiments many times as justification for taking needless liberties, but you could say that about anything in movies. "Oh, let's have tanks roll through Atlanta in Gone With the Wind - it's just a movie!"

All films rely somewhat on suspension of disbelief, and the less you know the easier it is to do that suspendering. I don't expect anything approaching true physics in any Star Trek movie, but when you try to make a film regarding a shuttle mission in low Earth orbit, I hope for more realism than what Gravity presented.
